Does anyone else have a hard time listening to advice from someone who hasn't lost anyone in their family? Except for maybe an 85 year old Aunt? I know people mean well, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to listen, nor the heart to say anything!

I am appalled when people liken being a widow to being divorced- really ! I mean if my husband were still alive we would be married.  I know people mean well but this is a little different than when they had to put the dog asleep !

I just smile and say thank you and think someday you will know what it's like and I will give you the same advise you gave me.

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood. Sometimes seeing grief on screen helps when it’s hard to explain what’s going on inside. The problem is that many “grief movie lists” online feel very surface-level or overly dramatic,…See More
